Coconut week…

There really is such a thing!

Whether coconuts make you dream of a tropical getaway or make you think of your favourite skincare product, August is the time to celebrate this glorious fruit!

In honour of the week, we are bringing you (you guessed it…) all things coconut! 

The coconut infused skincare products we can’t live without…

The truth is, we’ve included coconut in a *bunch* of our products – mainly because the benefits of this fruit are pretty impressive! Not only is it known for it’s hydrating properties, it also helps protect skin and proves a serious dose of antioxidants to your skin. What’s more – it can help alleviate redness and irritation and it is an antibacterial. Meaning, even acne-prone skin can benefit from this powerful yet natural ingredient.

Narrowing it down to these few gems as no easy feat, but here are our top coconut-infused recommendations in honour of coconut week!

Calming Oatmeal Soap

Our Calming oatmeal soap is packed with coconut! Coconut oil and milk!

This soap helps to effectively cleanse your skin – removing all sorts of impurities such as dirt, dust, dead cells etc – without drying it out. Containing a HUGE quantity of fatty acids, this soap helps preserve your skin’s natural hydration. Coconut oil also adds a beautiful creaminess to the lather.

Suitable from birth, this soap is perfect for sensitive or dry skin and irritated/inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Tranquility Body Butter

If dry skin has you down, our Tranquility Body Butter is the solution.

Monoi de Tahiti petals are infused into coconut oil, helping neutralise free radicals that cause your skin to age.

This butter offers intense moisturisation and helps rejuvenate your skin – especially good for these summer months as it helps protect your skin against dryness and peeling.

Calming Face Cream

The face cream we go back to again and again.

Suitable for the whole body, this cream is loaded with the good stuff! We are talking about coconut oil, calming calendula extract, skin softening and soothing pomegranate oil and raspberry oil, a natural acne remedy, helping to rebalance your skin’s natural oil production.

BUT…

The star of the show?

Our naturally fallen coconut shell bowls

A true gift from nature, these bowls are handcrafted from naturally fallen coconuts otherwise discarded as waste. Sanded smooth inside and 100% natural, biodegradable, these durable bowls can be washed, dried and reused over and over again!

Our go-to ways of using natural coconut oil…

In the kitchen: Ditch spray oils and stop spending a fortune on olive oil. Coconut oil is here and does just as good (if not better) a job at greasing that frying pan. Use it in the exact same way you would in your stir-fries of other dishes you cook with the help of an oil.

If you’re worried about the flavour – it is extremely faint!

For luscious locks: If you want to keep your hair healthy and free of split ends, you need to use coconut oil! Applying it to your hair once a week is by far the easiest and most natural way to keep it moisturised, shiny and frizz free! Just warm up a generous amount of coconut oil (depending on hair length) and apply it to your locks. If you tend to have an oily scalp, don’t worry! Coconut oil works wonders as a scalp treatment, especially for dandruff sufferers!

So, for coconut week, celebrate with the fruit we simply can’t get enough of!

And, it’s definitely one that we will look forward to celebrating every year!
